Dalrymple agreed to cooperate
against Yerian and described to the court what led up to Patronick's death, said Francine Gargano, attorney and spokesperson for Patronick's
family.

The two men were kicked out of the Hilltop Café moments before what
turned into the deadly exchange, according to authorities. Patronick left the bar and called out to the men as they were walking
toward Yerian's home on Hudson Street.

The three men continued down Pear Alley, between Hudson Street and Freeman Elementary School. There, Patronick was punched and
kicked in the head and the stomach. The men continued to beat Patronick even after
he fell defenseless to the ground, according to testimony. He was pronounced dead at then-Warren Hospital.

Gargano said that the victim's family has mixed feelings about the convictions.

"The family is glad in a way that it is coming to an end."
she said, adding that the family still felt the suggested sentences didn't match the crime. "You wonder where the legal system is at a time like this."
